Answered Prayers

On Saturday afternoon, we learned that Nonnie would be transferred to UCLA Medical Center to begin her treatment on Sunday morning. This is a brand new, state of the art facility on the UCLA campus called the Ronald Reagan Medical Center. Her doctors name is Sven De-Vos, who is a Hematologist/Medical Oncologist. Jeff has a friend that is married to the Medical Director of Orange County, previously in Los Angeles County. Dr. Stratton made some phone calls and we learned that Dr. De-Vos was actually recruited by UCLA because of his credentials and is a master in his field. He even told us that if he or a family member needed treatment, he would seek Dr. De-Vos. In addition to Dr. De-Vos, Dr. Aribi Ahmad (fellow) will be assigned to Nonnie. He is a student, that has already finished his residency in Internal Medicine, a residency in Oncology, and now is studying Hematology with approximately 10 years of practice. Sounds like we are heading in the right direction!
